YouTube Description
as posted by the channelAt a town hall in Parkersburg, Iowa, a voter begged Senator Joni Ernst to understand the human cost of slashing Medicaid: “People are going to die.” But Ernst didn’t flinch. Days later, she posted a mock apology — filmed in a graveyard — saying: “We’re all going to die.”
On Roland Martin Unfiltered, panelist Raven Schwam-Curtis delivers the bottom line:
“Republicans don’t care if we die.”
Roland, Raven, and Bishop William Barber break down the GOP’s cold strategy — from deadly budget math to the moral failure of laughing at death. This is about more than one town hall. It’s about a political movement that weaponizes indifference.
